Quick Minimal Brief Guide for IPTVBoss (how to make sane list of channels)

The goal is here to create a simple curated list of the IPTV service you get which has like 25,000 useless channels and make it available to iptvplayer apps (UHF, smarter etc...). Trying to make this as concise as possible

One time Steps

  1. Install iptvboss from their website (on a PC or Mac). You only need the free version for this

  2. Create a dropbox account

  3. Go to the developer console of dropbox (google to find the link)

  4. Add a new API service

  5. Give the API service all the right permissions there is a tab at the top (pretty much everything) - if you need to be more specific check the following.

    1. files.metadata.write

    2. files.metadata.read

    3. files.content.write

    4. files.content.read

    5. sharing.writeView

    6. sharing.readView

    7. file_requests.write

    8. file_requests.read

  6. Switch to the settings tab Get the KEY and SECRET from this API Service you just made

  7. Open IPTVBoss, Open Settings, IPTVBoss Settings a) Cloud Sync Enabled b) Cloud Provider Drop Box c) Fill APP KEY and APP SECERET d) click Authorize

Now you have a cloud location where your playlist wil go.....

Get your Sources

only need to do this once per itv service your purchased from z2u or wherever

  1. Click Source, Click Source Manager, Click +API

  2. Put in your host, user, password , click Load Categories, click OK

  3. I believe this adds your GUIDE to at the bottom half too.

Create a simple playlist (i.e: Layout)

  1. Click Layout at the top, click +

  2. Give it a name , Save Layout

  3. Double Click the name on the left

  4. Now is the actual building basically you can create a group and add channels to it or just existing groups. The key here is to click IMPORT CHANNELS in the middle at the top and play with that, once you are done. Take your time here, notice the dropdown for VOD, Series, Live TV

  5. Click OUTPUT at the top and Current Layout M3U and EPG,

  6. Click OUTPUT and view cloud links

  7. Copy that tinyurl link and use that in your iptvplayer app as an M3U link, if the fields are blank somethign is wrong with dropbox settings

You can repeating and tweaking this part as much as you like

I found IPTVboss fairly easy to use once I played with it for a couple hours.

Their manual is decent just be aware that creating an XC server is an optional step and it's not apparent in the manual.

One thing I found out is that when importing channels, if you want to keep your playlists default channel order, then you need to untick the checkbox in the top right that defaults to sorting a --> z.

Edit: ran into several rude and unhelpful mods on discord, will be avoiding IPTVboss in the future. I do not recommend them at all

We'll be working on a new Wiki soon, but our discord is a wonderful community for support.

I still think a guide for IPTVEditor would be super worthwhile. I can add it to the intro post.

Look into the users system in IPTVBoss.

Thank you for creating this. Does boss offer a web player for your playlists ? I suspect not since it runs on your own computer but thought I’d double check.

I find this feature of IPTV editor pretty valuable to make it easier to watch from a browser from time to time and was curious if they do the same.

No, not currently a feature, tho it should work with most players. I've resigned from my full-time career to focus on IPTVBoss over the coming months. So there will be big improvements coming. My latest beta includes significant updates to the AED (Advance EPG Dummies) that maps provider sports based channels (event or team based) to custom created guide data including game previews for all sports including event based logos.
